I would love more Maeve + Superstore thoughts, her friendship with Jonah sounds amazing

(i forgot about this in my drafts for too many days bc i’m a huge dummy don’t look at me here we go slamming post lmfao) oh boy, the tags were a 30 second long goof experiment but i'm always prepared to extend that for any scenario. let's make up some absolute nonsense for the lulz and cuteness.

literally do not ask me why posh brit accent maeve is working at a store in missouri because i don't have time for it and that's not part of the "everything here is for fun" theme.

one of her running gags is that she’s always talking about concepts for stories and tropes that she wants to explore/deconstruct, but anytime she’s asked about progress she’ll have some wild explanation for why she didn’t get very far into writing. there have been at least two rr martin comments made about how long it’s taken her to finish her first book. jonah, amy, sandra and cheyenne have all read some of her short stories/misc chapters of the first book because they’re here favorites full stop. final two seasons are for sure the “oh [bleep], maeve published her book and it’s really taking off” arc for her.

cheyenne is the little sister that she never had, they have matching nails and accessories all the time. maeve often does her hair for her because it’s fun to them and gives them chat time.

she did sandra’s hair and make-up for her wedding 🥰

was genuinely intimidated and putoff by dina for a good while but i cannot be talked out of believing that they wouldn’t have a c-plot in a later season episode of maeve making dina look as hot as can be and trying to teach her how to flirt without being so blunt. is she successful with that last bit?? not really, but she gets to dress dina up and also receive some good advice on not taking people’s shit along the way so that’s fantastic (garrett’s dying in the background and that’s all part of the plan tbh)

obligatory b-plot of maeve having to explain bisexuality and polamory to the breakroom clowns because most of them can’t understand her love life. probably came about as a result of another running gag where maeve talks about one of her dates and it doesn’t add up with her former comments much to the confusion of her coworkers, and then she has to whip out the lecture because she gets accused of straight up lying or fooling around on her partner.

once accidentally made people think she and amy were going on a date because she told justine they were "going out for dinner tonight" and it started an entire Discussion behind their backs (she does, in fact, put out the offer to amy before leaving work. gotta shoot that shot, maybe amy’s feeling a little curious that night who knows a girl can dream)

she and jonah instantly connected and became great friends. they share a specific optimistic outlook in the way that they can see the world for what it could be instead of what it currently is and it’s something that brought them together, then kept them close even through the rough times. she loves his commitment and dedication to any cause that he undertakes, his efforts are inspiring and keep her going whenever her own start to waver. she is absolutely obsessed with how he consistently finds a way to put his foot in his mouth during any conversation, the yin to her yang as maeve’s known for being able to spin a web as quickly and for as long as necessary. their shared need to be validated and praised goes a long way between them because they’re annoyingly nice to each other all the time. they’re those two at the breakroom table talking animatedly about their latest interest or topic they picked up from a podcast/news article/reddit post (toxic masculinity, current politics, feminism, some obscure piece of history or a cryptid of the week, etc). he’s endlessly patient with her and she’s beyond thankful for it. flipside is that she unironically loves listening to him go off on his Woke Rants and gets bullied about it but doesn’t care, she’s there for him through the relationship struggles and does her best to give advice while not stepping over the line (might toe it once or twice but. what can you do, she’s a drama lover). she might have been late because beauty routines but she was also there each step of the way for the union work, besties get it done. maeve sweet talks them and then jonah goes on a righteous rant it’s a win/win.

i think it’s entirely possible she and jonah dated because of how well they get along, but i don’t see it lasting a crazy long time. maybe two, three months at the most (perhaps it’s mostly bc i’m an amy/jonah hoe and they belong together forever but whatever, don’t perceive me). a scenario where they’d both decide it’s better they stay friends and they get away with it without much weirdness, aka maeve’s fine and jonah or the coworkers makes it awkward sometimes before it settles. i do in fact think he’d be the first love interest of maeve’s that i can see her using “baby” as the primary petname because like,,,it’s jonah. you get it. if they dated, she has a photo taken of them from one of their dates taped up in her breakroom locker and it stays up there until she leaves the job bc she adores it so much.

insert bit where maeve makes a threesome joke with her + jonah and amy, and there’s a pause Just long enough with everyone looking between each other that it appears genuine consideration is there but the camera cuts before anything else is said. the world may never know what happened after that

everyone keeps trying to make drama between her and amy because they’re both close to jonah, but i fully believe maeve would adore and respect her far too much to reach any level of rivalry. she’d be in awe of how strong of a woman amy is between raising her children and working her ass off so successfully, and i imagine a lot of their bonding would be maeve persuading her into taking time for herself or them having girls’ nights (whether by themselves or with some of the others).

put the tabby obligated “they have two hands” joke here about maeve/amy/jonah. i haven’t put any thought into if it’d work out or if the other two could be into that sort of relationship but i’m legally and morally obligated to bring it up on the principle that it’s My Thing.

#ch: maeve sommers #i don't know what else to tag this as so i simply won't #days later tabby here: i have vague memories of writing these things super late at night so that's prolly why it was forgotten #between that and dnd the day after lol #a whole load of rambles and y'know what that's tabby all over so i'm leaving it like this #we're not here for neatly organized or fancily worded thoughts #thank you for the ask!!! it was so fun n cute

People needlessly ripping Ash apart for no reason, when she's never once shown hate or disrespect to her teammates, never once said she's the best or deserves better, has spent the better part of the last few weeks blaming herself and forcing people to blame her rather than her teammates for their club's performance, taking on the brunt of the leadership role when the coach she trusted and defended with her life against so many people up and abandons them mid-season, who was dropped off the team despite having the most consistent club season of any USWNT keeper in contention - I know I'm ranting but the fuck, man? My heart breaks for her. The one thing she was dominating at is now going to be taken away from her because Naeher killed it, and it's not because of Naeher, but because of these rabid anti-Ashlyn "fans" that would do anything to throw her in the dirt. Why can't they admit that Ash is having a great season and Alyssa is doing phenomenal at the national level? Why do we need to tear one down in order to life the other up? Why can't they give Ash a break from this constant hate when she's done nothing to provoke it, entice it, or even give any sort of validation from their claims? She's not out here saying "it should have been me" or "I'd have stopped it too". She's kept her head down, handled it with pure class and humility, and she still gets torn apart on Twitter for something that isn't even related to her and I'm honestly so choked up over it. I know that Ash is probably better at blocking out the noise but damn, it's just been blow after blow for her and I really hope that she's okay and has a good support system because if I were here and I had to wake up to this shit every damn day, I don't know if I could handle it.

THIS. THIS. THIS.

I hate this so much because Ash isn't on the team! Ash isn't there. And even if she was, she would've been the #2 or the alternate. Why are people drawing conclusions or these weird storylines that Alyssa is "competing" with Ash when both of these players have never had this attitude with each other? Why can't we celebrate these fantastic women who are carrying their teams? Why can't we give Alyssa the credit she most definitely deserves without throwing Ash under the bus at the same time? Ash probably would've known she'd have been the back up GK at the games, and she would've been cheering Alyssa on and hyping her up for those PKs and not once thinking "it should've been me". This woman has never claimed that she deserves that #1 spot. She has never even been spiteful over rejection, instead she wished the staff and the team the best and stayed silent. She cherished every cap she was given with grace and humility. She did her job as the backup support and wasn't upset that it wasn't her at the #1 when she was clearly being groomed to be Solo's replacement after her retirement. Ash has never taken anything for granted. And when it came down to show support from afar, she did it. So instead of just respecting Naeher's absolutely God-mode performance, why are people are treating it as an opportunity to trash Ashlyn for something she has no control over nor is she even directly related to?

Ash deserves better than she's been given, but damn, I genuinely don't know what she has done to deserve this. She isn't a player making snide comments about the opposition or talking shit about her federation. In fact, when other teams lose, she's the first one up to offer hugs and consolation and give them the props they deserve, something that this USWNT team is honestly lacking. She brought so much energy and hype and humility to the team that made me a fan of her, even if she got next to nothing when it came down to playing time or appearances. She's a class-act who gets treated like shit because people have nothing better to do, or have no other way to recognize talent in fantastic women like Alyssa, without trashing other women to elevate them. They don't need that; they elevate themselves. They don't need comparisons; they are stand-alones.

Alyssa had a genuinely legendary performance today. When the rest of her team was down and unable to come up, she made huge, clutch saves and then in the PKs, carried them home. She's an absolutely wonderful human, a fantastic keeper, and she's been so big for her team and deserves all the credit for her performance.

But it doesn't need to come at the expense of trashing Ash. There's no connection, no correlation, and anyone drawing inferences between them (on both sides: those claiming that if Ash had been there, she'd saved them, and those saying that Alyssa "clapped back" at Ash being the best PK GK now), are plain stupid and ignorant. There's no way to tell how Ash would've done because a) she is not there, and b) even if she was there, Alyssa would still be in net (and even then, Ash would be nothing if not the most supportive person out there, hyping her up and cheering her on until the very end).

Praise Alyssa all you want, but leave Ash out of it.

#asks #uswnt #ashlyn harris #idgaf im tagging it #im tired of the needless slander against ash as well #alyssa absolutely killed it and if you think ash is anything but ecstatic for her friend and teammate you're delusional #she is probably the most proud person out there knowing how much she cares about her team and the GK union #leave this poor woman alone and just let her focus on her career and her family and turning this pride team around #she's doing her best but damn if people aren't reaching right now #orlando pride
